Validating repository

[Gilles Scokart <gs...@gmail.com>]

Recently on the ivy user list [1] someone complained about bad poms found on
ibiblio.  The two examples he gave were poms with version numbers and
groupid that didn't match with their location.

Isn't possible to write an automated tool that crawl the repository, verify
some rules, and report any anomalies to the mail addresses indicated in the
pom and/or to this mailing list.

WDYT?

This is already in place (and being improved) in Archiva (http:// 
maven.apache.org/archiva).

It is yet to be used to clean up central, but I have looked at the  
feasibility of this in the past.
